The future Packers running back got his chance to do just that when his Pop Warner football team played during halftime of the Cowboys-Seahawks game on Oct. 27, 2002.
As luck would have it, on the same afternoon a 9-year-old Montgomery busted a 60-yard touchdown up the middle, one of his childhood idols, Emmitt Smith, snapped the NFL’s all-time rushing record during a 109-yard performance.
It’s one of several fond memories Montgomery has of Texas Stadium. In addition to watching Smith break the record, he also used to sell hot dogs and water at one of its concession stands.
